Comriq People · HR, attendance and payroll

Payroll that shows its working. Attendance that proves itself.

The roster, shifts, leave, approvals, documents and the monthly pay run in one place. Every statutory figure comes from a dated rule you can read, and every punch says how it was captured.

Book a demo

Built for companies in India first, with HR and attendance in the UAE and the US. Data stored in Mumbai. In development: founding companies onboard first.

What it fixes

Three things People stops happening.

Attendance from three apps and a WhatsApp group

Nine capture methods, one ledger

The owner picks the method per location: biometric device, phone with geofence, QR at the site, office IP, card, timesheet hours. Every punch writes the same line with its source.

A payroll sheet only one person can check

A pay run that shows its working

Five steps from inputs to the bank file. Open any employee and read the 50% wage test, the EPF segments, the ESI period and the TDS projection in words.

Offers approved on a phone call

A hiring chain nobody can shortcut

Each step is recorded by the named person in their own sign-in. The offer letter generates only from the approved figure and stays locked until the chain is complete.

Features by role

Each role sees its own screens.

The owner decides on an Access matrix what each role may see and change. Deleting records is not a permission anyone has.

Owner: sets the rules and approves what matters

  • Decides on an Access matrix what HR may see and change; versioned and audited
  • Designs approval chains per request: team lead, manager, HR, owner, any subset
  • Opens the product as any role with View as; actions are blocked and the visit is logged
  • Approves the pay run and above-band offers with everything in view
  • Sets Merit and performance-index rules and their weights

A day with People.

Scroll through the screens your team will use. Every window is live and plays itself; the data is fictional.

01

Every morning, one honest number

Who is in, from which location and by which method, before the first coffee. Late, absent and missed punches surface themselves — and each person gets one email, not ten.

  • 9 capture methods, one ledger
  • No-show email at 11:00, once
02

Payroll that explains itself

Five steps from inputs to the bank file. Every figure — PF on the new ₹25,000 ceiling, ESI, PT, TDS under the 2025 Act — names the dated rule it came from.

  • Locked with a snapshot
  • Journal straight to Books
03

Each site punches its own way

The owner picks biometric at the warehouse, geofence on site, office IP at head office. Weaker evidence is marked, never hidden.

  • Same line, every method
  • DPDP notice built in
04

Approvals that follow the org chart

Drag someone to a new manager and their leave, regularisation and review flow follows. Nothing waits on a person who left the team.

  • Chains per request type
  • Delegates while away

Works with the other products

People reads the same people and company as the rest.

Buy People alone, or link it. When a second product is switched on, events flow on Core, and the console turns products on and off without touching your data.

What People checks for you.

Specific to this product. The platform-wide rules (data in Mumbai, audit trail, support access with consent) are on the Platform page.

Income-tax Act 2025

FY 2026-27 declarations and TDS use the new Act's section numbers, with average-rate TDS projected across the year and the regime each employee declares.

Labour Codes

The 50% wage rule, pay before the 7th, full and final in two working days, overtime at twice the rate, and roster checks for the 48-hour week.

Rules with dates

EPF, ESI, PT and LWF by state are rows with a start date and a source. A change starts on its date and never rewrites a locked month.

DPDP Act and Rules

Comriq processes; your company decides. Notice and consent when location, biometric or Focus capture is first switched on. Aadhaar only as a masked copy.

Electronic signatures

Offers and policies are signed with an emailed one-time code, consent, an evidence record and a document hash: a valid electronic record under the IT Act, ss. 4 and 10A.

Kept, then deleted on time

Employee documents are kept 8 years after exit, candidates 12 months. Retention deletes whole records with a certificate.

Pricing

People pricing, published.

Billed by the day: a unit costs only for the days it is active. Every paid plan starts with a 30-day trial and no card. Prices exclude 18% GST. CGST + SGST inside Rajasthan, IGST elsewhere.

Annual prepaid is about 12 to 20% less.

Plan

An employee counts on each day their record is active, whether or not they sign in.

Taxable value, a month₹2,600
GST 18%₹468
Total with GST, a month₹3,068

Annual prepaid: ₹26,400 a year (₹2,200 a month equivalent), saving 15%.

Run through CQBill, the same billing engine the console invoices with. A full month shown; joiners and leavers are billed by the day.

FAQ

People, answered

Ask anything else; it answers from this site, or passes the question to the team.

Is payroll a separate purchase?

No. Payroll is part of Starter, Business and Pro. Free covers the directory, leave and attendance for up to 10 employees.

How are employees counted for billing?

An employee is billable on a day when their record is active: joined on or before that day and not yet past their last working day. A joiner on the 9th of a 31-day month costs 23/31 of the monthly price.

Can we keep our biometric device?

Yes. A device can connect through a small agent, push to Comriq, sync from the vendor's cloud or upload a CSV. Every punch lands on the same ledger as phone and QR punches.

Does People run US or UAE payroll?

Not yet. In the US, People is HR and attendance. In the UAE, HR and attendance first; WPS and gratuity payroll are in development.

Who can see salaries?

The owner decides on the Access matrix, row by row. Salary visibility, document access and approvals are separate permissions. Nobody can delete records.

We use a spreadsheet today. How do we move?

Founding companies get migration done with them: the employee list, opening balances, leave balances and year-to-date pay, checked against your last month before the first live run.

Is it live?

People is in development and is the first product in the build order. Founding companies onboard first and shape the release.
